Summary
The Legal Services Corporation board re-elected John Levy as chair and approved Father Pius as vice chair during its January meeting, taking nominations, closing them by voice vote and thanking long-serving members and staff for recent work and donations.
John Levy was re-elected chair of the Legal Services Corporation board and Father Pius was chosen as vice chair in voice votes at the start of the board's January meeting. The nominations were moved, seconded and approved without recorded roll-call tallies.
The re-elections came after board members publicly thanked donors Alan and Elaine Tannenbaum for a designated gift benefiting staff and applauded board and nondirector committee members for volunteer service. The chair recognized the newly formed fundraising work and said the communications subcommittee will be subsumed into the institutional advancement committee.
Board members and staff used the members' reports portion of the meeting to highlight the board self-evaluation, committee assignments and the importance of including nondirector expertise on committees. After brief remarks from multiple participants, the board moved on to committee reports and agenda items.
The meeting proceeded to other business, including committee-level requests for rulemaking, the inspector general's report and a public comment from the National Legal Aid and Defender Association.
